Why we built this
Made by restaurateurs, for restaurateurs.
I ran restaurants for more than ten years, and I styled the food myself. I lost count of the full days spent on photoshoots just to walk away with ten usable photos for our delivery menu, plus all the dishes we cooked purely as props and then threw straight in the bin.
It's an enormous amount of work, money and waste for a result that AI can now match, and honestly beat. The difference that matters: your dish doesn't get lost in the process. We keep the plate consistent, the real ingredients, the real portion, the real food you actually serve.
That's the tool I wish I'd had back then. So we built it, for operators who'd rather be running their restaurant than running a photoshoot.
